“There is interest from a few countries, and a few big clubs. It is a big ask moving from Norway to a top Premier League club, but people have succeeded in the past.

“It was only a year ago when Mame Biram Diouf went from Molde to Manchester United. I think he earned a lot of respect and he has become a more established player performing at a higher level. The move worked for him so why not?,” he added.

Annan, though, is not in any rush to leave Rosenborg and is willing to bide his time for the right offer to come his way.

Fosdahl continued: “We are not desperate to sell as it is not a big saga for us. Anthony is very professional, he even returned to training at Rosenborg a day earlier than expected after the World Cup.

“He is focused and committed to Rosenborg at the moment and very patient. At the moment a move could happen this week, or at the end of August. We will have to wait and see.”

The Norwegian Tippeligaen has been a happy hunting ground for Sir Alex Ferguson in the past, having brought Old Trafford legend Ole Gunnar Solskjaer from the league.

In more recent years, Diouf has joined United from Norway and has impressed in his limited first-team experiences thus far.
